I think for kids this would be nice. But for an adult its a bit boring and way to easy. I also think you should add an overall sound its a bit strange to have complete silence and some sound from time to time. Also dont really see the theme. I dont really keep himalive I would say.

Really enjoyed playing this! It's a refreshing take on the theme to slow down the pace of the game when so many other jam entries are really fast-paced! The sound at the end of the game was unexpected and a little loud compared to the rest of the game, which caught me by surprise, but I enjoyed the drawn aesthetic and the story. Great job :)

That jump scare at the end spooked me! Simplistic yet nice artstyle. It felt a bit too easy and you could guess which ones to click based on level of detail and line width. Nice entry.

Gods I love the sound effects. So good, so funny.

Lovely art, too.

You would have benefited from a soft background soundscape - maybe some looped humming to keep in the spirit of everything else?

Pros:
- Nice hand drawn graphics and sounds
- Good amount of story telling
- Classic gameplay,yet you added story elements, that ties well with the theme

Cons:
- I wish "Next" button was hand drawn as well. It stands out among other art
- Space might not be best separator for items to find as sometimes you might think you have to find "Dad toys", instead of "Dad" and "Toys" :D

Overall nice game. It's not super rich in gameplay, but what it lacks in innovation gameplay it makes up with story innovation.

Ok, so first minute I was like "Well... this is kind of boring", but when I heard the sound effects and Mr. Cuddles appeared. Damn, I was literally laughing on the floor. The gameplay is not challenging but relaxing and the dialogs and overall aesthetics make it fun and entertaining experience.
PS: Loved the wind and lightning effects so much!

It's not a good game, graphics and audio are terrible, but it's very funny ! I really loved this little story, great job with all these ideas !

I found the contrast between the girl and the bear hilarious even though the game itself was way too easy. Definitely worth playing through to see the dialogue!

It is a very good application of a simple idée, i was a little bit scared with the noise a the beginning ^^ For a narrative game, it is really nice and relaxing :)

You are not in danger anymore :) Apart from that, i really liked the art and the sound effect, would have been nice to have some objects blended into one another to add a bit more challenge. Overall pretty, good work !
